"Business" meeting

Welcome to the middle of the week! Here's our current business:

Story is walking more. It is so special to see her turn into a vertical participant in the ongoings of the home.When Wilder turned three and got the faux hawk, out came an ornery streak. I am praying the Lord gives me wisdom to continue in consistency of discipline. I cracked open Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp and it's given practical insight.

Thank you for your participation in More for you Mondays. Haven't they been fun? It is something I feel blessed to provide in a sea of expensive ad space. If you'd like to be featured, send me an email.

My heart friend, Julie, is adopting from China! Read their story here. It seems everyone is adopting. It is wonderful. If you are having a hard time choosing who to donate to with your hard-earned money, I recommend praying for giving toward the Johnson's adoption. Their heart is for a disabled child. What a mighty calling they are obeying.

I will be hosting a HUGE raffle giveaway mid-September to raise funds for the Johnsons. If you are interested in donating an item (anything! even an Applebee's giftcard), email me. Other ways you can support them is by checking their blog periodically for information on purchasing home-spun scented play-dough, girl's hair clips, or a decorated cake (especially great for locals), for which 100% of proceeds go toward adoption expenses.

BlogSugar is weeks away and I have not finished the swag bag goodies yet. I stayed up til 1am working on them...friends have come over to help. It is indeed a community effort and I am so grateful for all the help I received. I will be able to "breathe" and get back to making headbands once the goodies are complete.

Headbands--would you like to see some go on sale? I need to make more sales for BlogSugar trip.
What I wore today (we were home all day; playdate here):

Best for last: Wilder's party was a smashing success. I lost count of moms/children in attendance but it was a wild time on the patio. Mr. Foote from Borders storytime brought his guitar. And of course there was bunting. :-)

Your kids are so lucky to have a mom that makes their life events so special.My mom always said that it wasn't terrible two's it was terrible three's. Good luck. I know you are up for the challenge! :)What's going into the goodie bags, are we going to get a sneak preview?

Last night I spent a good hour or so reading your blog. All the way back to posts from the end of June. My computer is fixed, so now I can catch up with my fav blogs. Yours was the first I came too.Happy Birthday Wildman! BTW what does ornery mean? Looks like a fun birthday. xxx

Just downloaded that book to my phone. Leah has reached what I am loving referring to as the "Ferocious Fours". I am to the desperate point and was so excited to see that you had a good recommendation for some helpful advice. Had so much fun at W's party, thank you for inviting us! :)

i know that you are well aware, but your kids take 'cute' to a whole new level.i totally forgot about shepherding a childs heart, i think i need to put that one on rush order, we've got a feisty one here.darling party!!!!
